My background includes four years post-doctoral research with CSIRO Advanced Technologies, Centre for Low Emission Technology, clean coal section. I was one of just nine delegates, and one of only two women, selected to participate in the 2009 Australia-Korea Leaders Next Generation Program, a joint Australian-Korean Government young leaders initiative focussing that year on the theme of “Green” Sustainable Energy International Project Development. I was subsequently appointed Southeast Asian BDM and project manager by a major Korean green energy manufacturing and solutions delivery company. After returning to Australia a year later, I joined the International Energy Centre to help establish Australia’s first Master degree program in Energy Studies, a consortium initiative between four universities and industry partner Xstrata. I moved to Papua New Guinea to hold a lecturer position at the PNG University of Technology.

Awarded 3 year merit based ARC (SPIRT) PhD Scholarship with RMIT industry-based partner CFCL (Ceramic Fuel Cell Limited

Environmental Chemistry at the Civil & Environmental Engineering Department - University of Technology, Lae, Papua New Guinea

· Specialised in developing renewable energy projects, energy business services, and associated environment projects

· Responsible for the design and formulation of inorganic sorbent material that had a preferred capacity to capture trace and toxic elements such as selenium, arsenic, sulphur, etc. for IGCC (Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle) processes and Syngas cleaning systems.

· Researching novel solid electrolytes with higher ionic conductivity than zirconia

· Pyrolysis research

I am passionate about pursuing environmentally related applied chemistry research, I also care deeply about teaching new generation students in this field.

2008 Completed a PhD

2009 Several innovative pollutant sorption materials were developed. These were successfully tested in guard beds that closely simulated industrial conditions. Heavy metal pollutant sorption capacities of 30–50% w/w were achieved.

2010 A number of MOUs for wind, solar and biomass energy projects in Australia and Vietnam, and have successfully developed an equal number of business alliance arrangements with energy sector business-chain partners across Southeast Asian regions.
